Date:1/12/2009

ALAMEDA, Calif., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Singulex, Inc. today announced that it has closed a $19 million financing round, led by JAFCO Co., Ltd. and supported by existing investors including OrbiMed Advisors and Fisk Ventures. The financing round will support the commercialization of Singulex technologies in the diagnostics market.

With its ability to detect and measure minute protein biomarker changes at very low levels, Singulex's technology also has significant potential for clinical applications in personalized medicine across multiple diseases.

Singulex will use the funds from this financing to deploy its product and services in the emerging molecular clinical diagnostic market. Initially, the company will focus on cardiovascular disease risk diagnostics using its assay platform for the biomarker c Troponin I (cTnI), a well-validated marker for cardiac necrosis.

"Singulex's steady progress in publishing strong data from premier medical schools in the country indicated that the Erenna technology can make significant contributions to the diagnostics field, specifically in the cardiov
